Solar Panels – As Important for New builds as Bricks and Mortar

With any new build the goal is to make your new home as energy efficient as possible. You want to create a comfortable space that you can enjoy without it costing the earth to run. With the move from fossil fuels to Air Source Heat Pumps, Electric Cars and other smart technologies – all of which require significant amounts of electricity to run – Solar Panels have never made more sense.

Given the above, at Solarfix we believe including Solar panels in your build project is as essential as the bricks and mortar.
